Myocardial Tissue Characterization: Histological and Pathophysiological Correlation
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) has become the gold standard not only for cardiac volume and function quantification, but for a key unique strength: non-invasive myocardial tissue characterization. Several different techniques, separately or in combination, can detect and quantify early and established myocardial pathological processes permitting better diagnosis, prognosticatio...
متن کاملUltrasonic tissue characterization of vulnerable carotid plaque: correlation between videodensitometric method and histological examination
BACKGROUND To establish the correlation between quantitative analysis based on B-mode ultrasound images of vulnerable carotid plaque and histological examination of the surgically removed plaque, on the basis of a videodensitometric digital texture characterization. METHODS Twenty-five patients (18 males, mean age 67 +/- 6.9 years) admitted for carotid endarterectomy for extracranial high-gra...
متن کاملPostmortem unenhanced magnetic resonance imaging of myocardial infarction in correlation to histological infarction age characterization.
AIMS Postmortem magnetic resonance (MRI) imaging is currently evaluated as alternative to traditional autopsy and myocardial infarction plays a key role therein. The aim of this study is to determine the suitability of postmortem MRI in infarction age staging. METHODS AND RESULTS In eight human forensic corpses presenting with a total of 11 myocardial infarcted areas, short-axis, transversal,...
متن کاملMagnetic resonance myocardial fiber-orientation mapping with direct histological correlation.
Functional properties of the myocardium are mediated by the tissue structure. Consequently, proper physiological studies and modeling necessitate a precise knowledge of the fiber orientation. Magnetic resonance (MR) diffusion tensor imaging techniques have been used as a nondestructive means to characterize tissue fiber structure; however, the descriptions so far have been mostly qualitative. T...
متن کاملIntact Histological Characterization of Brain-implanted Microdevices and Surrounding Tissue
Research into the design and utilization of brain-implanted microdevices, such as microelectrode arrays, aims to produce clinically relevant devices that interface chronically with surrounding brain tissue. Tissue surrounding these implants is thought to react to the presence of the devices over time, which includes the formation of an insulating "glial scar" around the devices. However, histol...
